Carl Booth has just managed to score a crucial double-up to 33,000 after he moved all-in preflop with {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and stayed ahead all they down a board of {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} against an opponent who called with {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Chris "minesony" Evans is also sitting pretty on 99,000 in chips after his {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} outkicked an opponent's {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} despite both players hitting a pair on the {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} board, which sent the opponent to the rail.

Jaxgard Drops Saab

Pontus Jaxgard has doubled through courtesy of David Saab.

Saab opened preflop to 5,000 and Jaxgard moved all-in for 25,000. Saab went into the tank and made the call.

Jaxgard: {Q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Saab: {K-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to double through the Scandinavian player. Saab drops to 26,000.

Moose Moving

Raemin "Jake the Moose" Alexander is moving in the right direction after eliminating a short stacked opponent.

The Moose's {A-Clubs}{q-Spades} would be well in control against the all in player's {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

It would stay that way with the board running out {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Alexander has 38,000 in chips.

Nothing to Worry About ...

Bruno Portaro has just managed to get his stack up to 70,000 after bluffing Justin Layden and another opponent out of a pot.

The action folded around to Layden who raised to 5,000 from the button. The small blind called, as did Portaro from the big blind to go three ways into a flop of {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The small blind checked and Portaro moved all in. Layden and the small blind quickly folded and Portaro showed {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a baby flush draw.

Layden doesn't look fussed - he's still on 160,000 in chips.

Delaney Done In

Delaney will be doing no more crushing today
Delaney will be doing no more crushing today
Jeff Putt opened from the cutoff to 6,000 and Ben Delaney three-bet him out of the big blind to 19,000. Putt thought a moment and called going heads up to the {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

Delaney went deep into the tank while playing with his chips. He eventually announced all in and Putt made a reasonably quick call.

Putt: {A-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Delaney: {A-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Putt would be in front but would have to dodge Delaney's outs. The {5-Diamonds} turn was all clear, as was the {k-Spades} river to move Putt up to around 100,000 chips.

Delaney was left with just 3,000 chips. A short time later he moved in with {A-Spades}{6-Clubs} and found an opponent with {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} out of the blinds.

A {q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop would leave Delaney in trouble and when the board blanked out {j-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river he hit the rail.

Cotaidis Washed Away

"Carwash" George Cotaidis has just been busted at the hands of Jim Sachinidis after moving the last of his stack into the middle with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and found himself in a flip against Sachinidis' {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

Neither hand improved on the flop of {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}, but the {a-Diamonds} hit on the turn and held when the {7-Clubs} bricked out on the river, ending Cotaidis' run and sending Sachinidis' stack up to 39,000.

Top of the Pops

Barry Woods currently heads our chip counts on 173,500 as we move into the final hour of play, followed closely by JP Kelly (149,000) and Luke McLean (120,000).

However we saw a massive stack of chips with an empty chair behind it - luckily one of our field reporters caught the man as he headed up the escalators.

His name is Semon Deeb and he's now second place in our counts, currently on 152,000 behind Woods.

Deeb doesn't look as if he's in any rush to get back to his table, but we reckon that if you've got such a massive stack, why not take five?
